Austrian Cresent is a large fingerling potato with deep yellow flesh. Delicious for salads and roasting, boiled or steamed. Large size-13-25cm. Very like Banana Fingerlings in flavour.
Plant after danger of frost. To avoid diseases, plant where potatoes or related plants (tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants) have not grown for at least a year. Set the seed pieces in 4- to 6-inch-de ep planting holes or trenches. Space seed pieces about 18 inches apart in rows 3 feet apart.
Potatoes need a loose, deep, sandy, or sandy loam soil, or soils generously amended with organic matter such as compost. All potatoes need regular irrigation or rainfall throughout the season. Once the plants have emerged from the ground, hill soil up, covering all but one-third of the sprout. Repeat hilling three to four weeks later. Mulch the rows with a 4- to 6-inch-thick layer of straw mulch when plants emerge to help conserve moisture and stop weed seeds from germinating.
